Karen Bables
Welcome to my blog about living as apprentices of Jesus! I am passionate about spiritual transformation and about helping others become like Jesus for the sake of others.
One of my favorite quotes is: "Whatever job we get and whatever task we are assigned can serve as a container for grace" (Eugene Peterson in "Practical Resurrection"). I pray that the words and sentences on this blog may also serve as "containers of grace" for its readers.
I ordinarily post on Wednesdays and Saturdays and welcome your comments on any post!

Enough of God to Go Around!
This is a post from 2012 that I am re-posting because of the value of the concepts of scarcity and abundance to us all. A dust-up at work the other day reminded me of something I learned from Stephen Covey … Continue reading
